Above the Desert Sea, the sunlight was fierce, and countless sandstorms rose, stirring up waves of heat.

A white rainbow swiftly cut through the sky, followed closely by a gigantic Soul-Devouring Insect. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

It constantly emitted strange sounds.

Following behind it was a massive swarm of Soul-Devouring Insects!

This white rainbow was naturally the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, and at this moment, Ye Jingcheng and the Red Flame Fox were also on top of it.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s escape speed was naturally superior to Ye Jingcheng’s, and additionally, it could also unleash the Profound Cold Storm.

Although the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s speed over time couldn’t compare with a Spiritual Ship, Ye Jingcheng was currently full of helplessness.

After all, in front of these Soul-Devouring Insects, Ye Jingcheng didn’t dare to release any Magical Treasure at all.

The Soul-Destroying Sound of the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect could bring devastating harm to the Divine Sense attached to Magical Treasures.

He almost lost the Tier Four Magical Flying Sword, Golden Glaze Sword.

It was using the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Red Flame Fox that he barely managed to escape, as well as barely recover his Magical Treasure.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat depressed, as he had planned to leave upon verifying that the Teleportation Array was intact.

After all, he was currently only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, and his Spirit Beasts were only the Red Flame Fox and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

He naturally wouldn’t recklessly enter.

As he was preparing to leave, he planned to capture two Soul-Devouring Insect Great Demons alive, for Ye Haicheng, Ye Xuefu, and others in the family to attempt a Blood Contract.

Although it might fail, it could still be tried, and even if it failed, there would be two additional Tier Three Insect Cores.

Who would have expected that just as he captured one, a storm erupted in the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, with a black dust storm like an enraged giant beast.

And in the next moment, a Mid-Stage Fourth Tier Soul-Devouring Insect flew out.

With countless Soul-Devouring Insects charging towards him.

The myriad Soul-Slaying Sounds almost caused Ye Jingcheng’s Heart Spirit to collapse.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the Celestial Soul Technique, had Golden Core to solidify his Divine Sense, and his Divine Soul had also reached the Mid-Stage Fourth Tier strength.

He could barely endure.

Ye Jingcheng felt that the Divine Sense of this Mid-Stage Demon King might have already reached the strength of a Late Stage Fourth Tier Demon King.

Of course, it wasn’t that Ye Jingcheng had no way to deal with a Demon King.

The key issue was the approaching swarm of insects, and due to the Soul-Destroying Sound, Ye Jingcheng’s Magical Treasure became ineffective, forcing him to rely on magic, significantly reducing his strength.

Furthermore, the Tier Four Soul-Devouring Insect Demon King’s physical body was extremely formidable, with speed no less impressive.

If trapped by the Demon King, and then engulfed by the insect tide.

At that time, even if Ye Jingcheng were at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, he might not escape.

This highlighted the terrifying nature of the Soul-Devouring Insects.

"Roar!" Amidst an angry roar, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon spewed out countless frost.

At this moment, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had become smarter; whenever it attempted to unleash the Profound Cold Storm, it was overshadowed by the Soul-Destroying Sound.

Instead, these instant-cast spells proved extremely useful!

As the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon launched Frost Ice Cones and the Red Flame Fox spewed several Fireballs.

The Soul-Devouring Insect Demon King rapidly evaded.

During its evasion, Ye Jingcheng also took the opportunity to start making several Finger Techniques!

As expected, as Ye Jingcheng conjured them, a Soul Sound appeared in front of him.

Ye Jingcheng directly released the Five-Colored Cloud Deer, allowing it to bear the brunt of the Soul-Destroying Sound’s impact.

"Yoo!" The Five-Colored Cloud Deer was instantly enveloped by Five-Colored Profound Light, but still let out a painful sound.

Although it was a Tier Three Peak Great Demon, with not weak tolerance, facing a Divine Sense attack comparable to the Late Stage of Golden Core, it was still somewhat inadequate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Jingcheng finally released all his Spirit Techniques, and two large and small Vermilion Bird Spirit Shadows spread their wings and cried out, showering the area with countless red flames, forming a Heaven-Burning situation.

Unlike before, when Ye Jingcheng’s Fire Spirit Secret Technique could only barely summon one Vermilion Bird Spirit Shadow.

Ye Jingcheng now had the skill to summon an additional half one, not to be underestimated, as its coverage in the Fire Spirit Secret Technique was extremely terrifying!

At this point, the Insect King could not avoid it and had to endure it!

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng began making Finger Techniques again, this time intending to release Bing Fire Divine Thunder.

However, the Five Elements Divine Thunder hadn’t even struck when he sensed the aura of another Demon King nearing from afar.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng, although feeling a sense of regret, had no choice but to give up and swiftly ride the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon away.

This time Ye Jingcheng realized that his biggest shortcoming now was his Divine Sense.

After all, his Spirit Beasts were excellent in close combat and casting spells from afar, but his Divine Sense lacked a decent defense Magical Treasure.

This led to the Spirit Beasts being unable to perform at their full combat power.

Chased by a Mid-Stage Fourth Tier Insect King for such a distance.

Ye Jingcheng first released numerous Treasure Lights to the Five-Colored Cloud Deer, then took out a Jade Talisman to start documenting.

The news of the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn’t keep to himself, and he could also summarize the weaknesses and strengths of the Soul-Devouring Insects. Next time, when he returns, it’ll be time for Ye Jingcheng to break the Insect Array and examine the Teleportation Array.

Certainly, at this moment, he is also hesitating whether the Soul-devouring Insect King inside has an owner.

After all, these Soul-devouring Insects seem to be truly guarding that Teleportation Array.

Once they exceed a certain distance from the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, they will fly back to the Forbidden Land.

"If that’s the case, it might be troublesome!" Ye Jingcheng is somewhat worried.

After all, this time’s Teleportation Array is different from the previous two times, knowing the opponent’s approximate power, even if there is some concealment, it won’t be too much higher.

But this time, it’s entirely unknown.

The only thing that comforts Ye Jingcheng is that the Earth Dragon Demon King should be breaking through, and then the Ye Family should have the ability to explore.

As for letting it be, the Ye Family is absolutely impossible.

After all, if not thoroughly investigated, it might become a Teleportation Array for other forces to smuggle into the Desert Sea.

By then, the Ye Family will also become as difficult as the previous Zhang and Jia families, constrained everywhere.

"It seems other three forbidden zones also need to be checked!" Ye Jingcheng, after recording the points regarding Soul-devouring Insects that need attention, muttered.

Currently, in the Desert Sea, four forbidden zones are known.

Two in the Far West, namely the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls and the Primordial Magnetic Forbidden Land.

The former greatly restricts Divine Sense, while the latter greatly restricts Five Elements Magic.

Of course, if Ye Jingcheng can reach Nascent Soul, the Primordial Magnetic Forbidden Land will become a treasure land, as its main Primordial Magnetic Earth Vein can be refined into a Tier Five Treasure.

In the Far North is the Black Crow Forbidden Land, where it’s said there are several Tier Four Black Crows; of course, the Black Crow Forbidden Land also borders the mountains and could attract quite a few other Demon Kings to come to aid when dealt with.

And the Black Crows in the Black Crow Forbidden Land are also one of the targets for the Ye Family.

Especially Ye Xingyu’s Golden-eyed Crow has the bloodline of the Golden Crow; having the Black Crow from the Black Crow Forbidden Land makes progressing a third time plausible.

The Extreme South of the Desert Sea is the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, which is more unknown compared to other forbidden zones, because it’s a Natural Illusion Array; it is said even Purple Mansion Cultivators entering do not return.

Over time, even Golden Core Cultivators dare not enter the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land lightly.

If previously the Teleportation Array of the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls was not discovered, Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t worry about these major forbidden zones, but now, with the appearance of the Teleportation Array, it couldn’t go unchecked.

In case other forbidden zones also have Teleportation Arrays, these will become four fatal weaknesses of the Ye Family.

After a thoughtful moment, Ye Jingcheng then let the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon circumnavigate once, heading toward the oasis.

Since at this moment, Chu Yanqing is still at the oasis with his two children.

An hour later, Ye Jingcheng arrived in the skies above the oasis.

This oasis is called Qingsha Oasis, also directly managed by the Ye Family.

This oasis is named Qingsha Oasis because the sand here is somewhat cyan, unusual throughout the Desert Sea.

In the oasis, there are few mortals, only twenty to thirty thousand, including not many cultivators stationed here by the Ye Family; currently, there is one Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivator, plus two Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, two Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Of course, the oasis is equipped with Tier Two Celestial Armor Puppet and Tier Two Array, even if Foundation Establishment Cultivators come to Qingsha Oasis, they wouldn’t easily breach it.

Moreover, nearby is the large oasis, West He Oasis, which is one of the important places for the Ye Family; if there is danger here, assistance can come from there at any time.

Currently, on top of Cyan Sand Mountain, Chu Yanqing is with his two children, observing the oasis’s specialty, Cyan Sand Berries.

The Cyan Sand Berries are a Tier One Middle-grade Spirit Fruit, cyan in color, fleshy like apricot; the value of this Spirit Fruit is naturally not significant to the Ye Family nowadays, but because each tree can produce over a hundred berries, and one berry can be worth three to four Spirit Stones, with twenty trees, it’s naturally quite a fortune for the Ye Family.

After all, the berries also mature yearly, translating into six to seven thousand Spirit Stones of income yearly.

The only peculiar thing is, the Cyan Sand Berries can only survive in Qingsha Oasis.

"Brother Cheng, the Cyan Sand Berries here seem to be of the Water Attribute; this oasis might be peculiar!" Chu Yanqing said.

She is a Water Attribute Spirit Body, more sensitive to Water Attribute Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Objects than others.

Upon hearing, Ye Jingcheng is also taken aback.

"What do you mean?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"I think either there is a Water Attribute Spiritual Vein underground, or there is a Secret Realm or Mini World here, permeating pure Water Attribute Spiritual Energy!" Chu Yanqing then spoke again.

This statement caused Ye Jingcheng to spread his Divine Sense, checking for a long time without spotting any clues.

"Brother Cheng, look at the Spiritual Vein of Cyan Sand Mountain; it’s nurtured by the Spirit Gathering Array, but logically, Water Attribute Spirit Stones should be as numerous, if not more, than other Spirit Stones, otherwise unsuitable for most cultivators, nor fitting for Cyan Sand Berries!"

"But this Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Vein tends more towards the Fire Attribute, seemingly clashing with Water Attribute, evidently masking something."

"If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t this Qingsha Oasis previously under Jia Family’s management?" Chu Yanqing spoke again.

Coming from a family, she certainly wasn’t merely a pretty face without knowing anything.

Sometimes, she is more meticulous than Ye Jingcheng.

Coupled with her special sensitivity to Water Attribute Spiritual Objects, she found the difference in Qingsha Oasis.

"I see, to find a Mini World or Secret Realm, enhancing the Fire Attribute Spiritual Vein and Spiritual Energy’s power can detect the existence of that Secret Realm; if nothing unexpected happens, it’s still a Pure Water Attribute Spiritual Vein, so even if they want to blockade it, they can’t!" Ye Jingcheng instantly understood.

He didn’t expect an unexpected harvest from visiting Qingsha Oasis.

Of course, this is Jia Family seeking Ye Family’s vulnerabilities.

As long as a Secret Realm blocks their own vitality from being detected by the Ye Family, in such a Mini Secret Realm, it wouldn’t draw the Ye Family’s Purple Mansion Golden Core for investigation, allowing them to conceal perfectly.

"If nothing unexpected, maybe the Jia Family also discovered the Teleportation Array in the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls, even disguising puppets as Soul-devouring Insects entering the Soul Perishing Secret Realm!" Ye Jingcheng also muttered at this moment.
